Sensational.
13 wins away from a title!!

Although I was closer.
Considering what Var has let go that was never ever getting given.
That was competent. He still seems to think that putting in one challenge is enough instead of continually harrying and hustling to win the ball back. Needs lessons from Endo, Diaz Robbo and Harvs
Brentford were utter shit.
The Salah goal was so Salah. Nothing artful, just too strong.

Virgil let me down at the end there.
So, I only could listen via radio and it wasn't the most descriptive, so can anyone answer these questions:
How did Diaz look? He sounded lively but more often than not attacks seemed to break down.
How was gravy? I heard him mentioned when he came on for Jones and that was it
Was endo as good as the radio made him sound? He sounded like he was everywhere
Wee Bradley; did he do good? They raved about a few instances, but how was he defensively?
Did Nunez look like he had a knock pre half time? Or we thinking precautionary?

come on Burnley and Chelsea!!
Diaz, Bradley and Gravy all had good games. Diaz was really lively.
No word on Nunez yet. Lets hope tactical
They all played well. Diaz and Endo did what they usually do, Bradley defensively sound got forward a few times, created a great chance for himself in the first half.
Nunez played well too, great finish for the first goal.
He didn't look injured when he went off so I guess it was precautionary
Diaz was very good.
Gravy was good.
Endo was brilliant but should have been sent off.
Bradley along with Robertson was lively. Could have had a goal.
Nunez didn’t look injured.
Salah is back!! Goal and sublime assist!
Diaz same as usual for 65 mins - seemed to take a 10 role for last half hour and was good. He’s a terrier!
Gravenberch - see above comment. Competent but nowhere near the right level of combat for this league
Endo - covered huge amount of ground and made it very hard for Brentford to play through
Bradley - inverted to midfield in possession. Macca had to bail him out a couple of times. Attecking excellent
Nunez - walked off at HT chatting to Salah. Looked fine

According to
@USANetwork
— In the tunnel it was visible that Diogo Jota had ‘stud marks’ on his knee which most likely came from the impact he had on the pitch. More to come..

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatings time.
Kelleher 7 - Few cracking saves, nothing he could do with the rebound.....steady eddy.
Bradley 8 - The mental fortitude on this kid to perform the way he did despite what he's gone through recently is remarkable, another exceptional performance.
Ibou 6 - Too many silly decisions, slides in when he shouldn't slide in, steps out of defence when he needs to hold his position. Gives away too many fouls by focusing on the man over the ball.
Virgil 8.5 - Lead by example out there, unlucky not to score for the icing on the cake.
Robbo 7 - Set pieces were good, lucky not to give away a pen I thought but you can see he's getting closer to full fitness.
Endo 8.5 - Yes Froggy, he did have another exceptional game regardless of the few fouls he gave away. Instrumental to our play.
Mac 7 -Struggled first half, unbelievable 2nd capped off with a lovely team goal.
Jones 6 - Shame about the injury although didn't think he was up to much the time he was won.
Jota 8 - Started sloppy with his passing but then went on a few runs where you think ok then, then the flick on for the assist where you think how the fuck.....then the inevitable injury.
Nunez 8 - Incredible finish, a world class finish from a world class striker. Pops up everywhere and gets involved with great effect.
Diaz 7 - Should he have had a pen? Not too sure. Wasn't the most threatening but kept the ball well, worked his usual socks off and battled away. Little fortutous to get the assist to Gakpo given Brentford's poor defending but they all count.
Grav 8 - Brilliant when he came on.
Salah 8 - Can't argue with a goal and an assist, minus 1 for the miss.
Gakpo 7 - +1 for the goal

Solid, professional performance and we were clinical when it mattered. The first goal unlocked the game and then Brentford had no answers.
Sadly the Jota injury, if as serious as it looked, will likely cost us some silverware. He's too important for it not to. Gakpo and Diaz are going to have to step their numbers up.
Nunez and Salah looking impressive. Bradley continues to grow in confidence and put on a decent display after clearly a distressing time.

I know Endo gave away a few cheap balls but he basically stopped Brentford from playing, it wasn’t a dominant display but he’s so key in how we play.
MOTM for me.
